Check out this video for demonstration. YMMV, but like I said, it's been almost year and it's still there.

You might give Black Wow Pro a try. New from the same makers of Black Wow. Claims of 4-6 months life are claimed. I have used it for about two months on a half dozen customers cars and I'm very happy so far.

Adams VRT and in and out spray.
VRT restored the back plastic on our G8 shop car. I applied it once and rubbed on it for a while with a micro fibre. Plastic still looks 100% better today and that was atleast 3 months ago and a bunch of washes ago

++++1 for VRT. oh and my bottle has lasted over a year and a half, goes a long way.

PS- The part the OP is referring to is called the taint. It ain't the windshield and it ain't the hood

Meg's Protectant works for me. I even use it on all the black plastics in the engine bay and they still look like new after almost a year.

Do you think pledge is ok for the kinds of heat cycles that a car goes through?

Is 303 ok for the interior dash, console, and door trim??

For the wash I used Optimum NO Rinse. It's not the best but it gets the job done in between professional washes. Also I live in an apartment so I can hose the car down every weekend.

Lemon pledge has been used for years for detailing by many people. I've been using it on my bikes for a long time as well. Its not much different than plexus. (but a lot cheaper) and its a great between waxes wax...

Ultima Tire and Trim Guard Plus (UTTG)
Lasts for months, has a very natural look, not greasy or shiny, won't run in the rain like 303 and most others. A couple of drops on a makeup sponge goes a long way so a bottle lasts forever.

Been wanting to try the Carpro dLux, I use Carpro PERL on my interior and it's awesome, love the Carpro products so for.

@ Rabble...303 is fine for interior...can be a little glossy and have that Armour All look but if you buff it good with a clean MF after applying you can get a nice satin look. I really hate a shiny look not even satin, that's why I like the PERL, it's very natural.

If you ever want to know anything about detailing look up Autogeek...everything you could ever want to know.
